Story
Financials work at CME Group spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Infrastructure as code was splitting across regional habits. Platform engineers asked for a shared way to run environment provisioning without freezing local judgment.
GitLab (GitLab Duo) is what they standardized on. GitLab is a DevSecOps platform that combines source control, CI/CD, security scanning, and planning in one application. CME Group uses it as the system of record for infrastructure as code, with platform engineers as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
